THE REVIEW

I was discussing with a friend of mine about what could be the meaning/purpose/end of life... He told me: simple, survival!

I refused to accept this simple solution and decided to go to a place where I could be alone and reflect with all the possible calm. I prepared the "pandino" (a car that, despite its age, still fills me with satisfaction), loaded the mp3 player, and set off to a viewpoint at about 1800 m altitude. Once there, I leaned forward and managed to see the peace of the sea and the mountain with a plain in the middle showing signs of civilization. At this point, I decided that it was time to put on the headphones and start listening to "Sun Baked Snow Cave."

For a while, nothing happened, I just watched civilization and the album served only as a calm soundtrack, but after about 15/20 minutes, my way of perceiving things began to change, my eyes were no longer those of a mere mortal, but eyes of a superior and damned being, I felt as though I had crossed several dimensions and ended up in a spectral world, and at that point, I decided to continue observing civilization and I no longer saw people in flesh and blood, but their souls, disoriented souls that moved without logic in the midst of concrete mazes, a bit like any scenario from Pacman, and I realized that those were the souls of people who followed a routine without asking themselves why, without asking the same questions I ask myself, superficial beings...

After about 40 min., the spectral world effect faded and I began to feel a strong sensation of pleasure that petrified me, kept me there motionless admiring the view for another 20 min, but the pleasure was with me, it didn't abandon me for even a single moment...

If I had to compare SBSC to something, I would without a doubt say a female orgasm..

When the album ended and all its effects wore off, I realized I had found the answers I was looking for without even striving to think...

The meaning/purpose/end of life is to achieve the supreme orgasm, at high altitude, listening to "Sun Baked Snow Cave"!
